martinwolf's Quarterly Intelligence Report for 1Q12

  

Friends,    

  

McKinsey research shows that stock markets react positively to spinoffs, and also shows those spun off businesses increase their own profit margins by a third within three years of being sold. We have sold six non-core divisions of Fortune 500 companies and experienced shareholder acceptance in each case. VDI 1Q12 A
 
Bottom line, if you are not the best buyer for your business, you should find the best one. If you are the best buyer for multiple businesses, you should be prudent and diligent on how you systematically identify, assess and integrate these opportunities, and proceed full speed ahead.   

To learn more about who's the best owner for your business, and to provide you with some of the same data  we use to advise our clients on a global basis, our 1Q12 VDI features the following eight topics:    
  1. Viewpoint: Who's the Best?   
  2. India Update: Significant Deal Volume in IT   
  3. Branding for Sales vs. Branding for "The Sale"  
  4. M&A Remains Path to Liquidity Events 
  5. Rollover Equity  
  6. Best Owners of Assets in Human Capital Management 
  7. Valuations? It Depends...  
  8. The China Report  

As always, we believe those who leverage data to their advantage will always be in a position of strength. For a copy of our 1Q12 VDI report, go here.
